Because good shoes deserve a long life
If you own a pair of Loints, you probably know it: they do not feel like just shoes. They go with you through workdays, holidays and everything in between. A worn sole is not a reason to say goodbye. It is a reason to repair.
For resoling we work with Draufgänger, a collective of skilled craftsmen in Cologne, Germany.
The world does not need more disposable products. It needs fewer, better ones that we keep, repair and enjoy for many years.
You already know how these shoes feel. Resoling keeps the comfort and fit your feet are used to.
Fewer shoes thrown away and a smaller footprint.
The leather and the work that went into your shoes stay in use.
We design shoes to last, and we help you make them last even longer.
The collective itself is fairly new. One of the partners, Rolf Rainer, has decades of experience repairing Loints. Many customers trusted him with their pairs long before this official collaboration existed.
They know the construction. They understand how Loints are built and the philosophy behind them.
They help customers remotely. Clear communication, smooth shipping and returns.
They work with care. Real craftsmanship on every pair.
Your shoes leave you well loved and come back ready for many more years.
Resoling, including the new soles and the labour.
Return shipping from Draufgänger to you, within Germany.
Return shipping from Draufgänger to you, to the Netherlands.
You arrange payment and shipping directly with Draufgänger. Shipping to Draufgänger is at your own cost. Outside Germany and the Netherlands, options and prices may differ; Draufgänger will advise you.
As part of our circular ambitions, we work with authorised repair partners. Our aim is one permanent partner per country. Draufgänger is the first member of this network, and France and Italy will follow.
Working closely together means the right materials are used and every repair is done the right way. We cannot do everything alone, and we do not want to.
It is even better when a partner also repairs other brands. They can bundle more repair work, work more efficiently, keep prices lower and learn from more shoes. That way we all get better together.
Many customers tell us stories like these:
“I’ve walked in these for over 10 years.”
“They’ve been with me on every city trip.”
“I can’t find this fit in any other shoe.”
We love hearing that. Shoes that fit you this well are worth looking after.
A worn sole is no reason to say goodbye. Contact Draufgänger and give your Loints a new sole.
